As individuals, we are involved in a variety of local organisations where we put our skills to use and raise funds for our Benevolent Trust and other charities. Our principal fundraiser is our Christmas Collection, when the whole community enjoys seeing the sleigh and having the chance to talk briefly to Santa. We also hold quiz nights, which are always great fun — all proceeds from these go to charities chosen each year. Our largest single donation to date was over £37,000 to fund a new purpose-built community bus for the Bexley Accessible Transport Scheme, which is regularly used by a variety of age groups and people with disabilities.

Last year, we raised and donated over £40,000 to various charitable organisations.

President Malcolm McQueen welcomes you to our website

As Club President for this Rotary year, I would like to welcome you to our website and thank you for your interest in our club.

We meet at Chislehurst Golf Club and host a variety of guest speakers who are both informative and entertaining. Visitors are always welcome at our meetings, so please check the details on this site.

Our club was founded 90 years ago, in 1935, and still maintains its most important link to the local community by supporting charities and humanitarian projects, both at home and abroad.

Each year, we support the annual Poppy Appeal and Marie Curie collections at local supermarkets, raising money and awareness for these causes. A highlight for us, and for many in the community, is our Christmas sleigh with Santa and his reindeer, spreading festive cheer and music. This is a long-established tradition — so look out for us!
